The EU is driving a more integrated approach for the support of skills, jobs and training. The UK could be leading this project

JOB, SKILLS AND EDUCATION

The timber supply chain provides a huge variety of excellent employment opportunities and the demand for skills across the whole Industry is expected to grow in line with population increase. In this regard, CTI will focus on ensuring that the use of timber across the chain and in construction is top of the Government Agenda as a first choice material with specifiers, designers and constructors.

Moreover CTI will work with Colleges, Universities, Training Centers and Professional Organisations to ensure that timber-related skills and jobs are nurtured and developed.

We need a long term vision for workable policies to fully develop vocational skills in the workforce. Without high functioning personnel, no business can survive.
